Here is something I did just as an experiment - have never used it for anything. I'm pretty sure I copied it from someone else on QlikView but can't remember.

oh this is so cool!! how do i use it in my application?

i want it for my country and city. i.e Country : Pakistan and City: Karachi>?

please help!

can i use it as the exact code from weather tab in the edit script?

[nathanfurby]

It runs on a variable (vCity) which you can change - see the input box below the weather data. If you want to hard-code to Karachi then set the variable in the load script.

Thank you so much Nathan, this was a great help. However I am new to Qlikview can you pleae elaborate it to me, if i was to do this from scratch how would i have to do this? just the weather part?

can you please put it in steps for me please? i know this is too much to ask but it will be a great help!

Yes it is very simple. As you have said - just take the load script from the 'Weather' tab.

As I mentioned, if you want to hard-code it to Karachi then change the statement:

Let vUrl = 'http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=' & vCity;

to

Let vUrl = 'http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=Karachi';

The rest is then just formatting the controls on the page.
